"some 6 million gallons of maple syrup - about $18 million worth" That works out to 3 dollars a gallon, I've been to Costco and it is selling for 13 dollars for a a quart (I think), it is a lot more expensive every other store. WTF Canada?

A supply management system like the one in Quebec will keep prices stable no matter what supply is like. But when Canada isn't producing as much maple syrup, the cartel kept prices lower than would otherwise be the case.

Bought some Tap 357 last week and I must say that is some of the best tasting Canadian maple syrup I have ever had. Poured some on my pancakes - really good. Kind of runny for maple syrup but the pancakes soaked it right up. Funny thing... I had the hardest time standing up, walking, operating heavy machinery and even talking afterwards.

That's what real syrup is like. We like it thicker here in the US, so we use corn syrup with natural and artificial flavorings. The corn cartel is stronger than the maple cartel. BTW, what happened to the three guys that stole from the maple cartel? TFA kind of flossed over that and started going on about good years and bad.

What did the "whoosh" sound like when you typed that?

It was sweet.

Hell, I wasn't even trying to troll anybody but got one anyways, ehh??

The truth is that maple syrup isn't as rare as it was initially believed. When the FPAQ found out they bought up all maple sources in order to keep the price artificially inflated. What you people don't realize is that your "precious" maple syrup is made possible with the blood of trees.

As long as there will be maple cartels there will be maple mobsters. Its a story as old as time, Pure uncut Canadian Maple is a true joy. Unfortunately, most of the 18 millions gallons of stolen maple syrup is destined to be cut with grade D corn runoff swill. The worst of the worst. Barely industrial grade corn syrup. That's how you make a real profit slanging maple. Mark my words, every Waffle House and Ihop from Kalamazoo to Oshkosh already has that cut syrup. You probably ate some this weekend. Sad, but that's the maple game.

That's not how works in my imaginary maple game. I'm already working on a screen play. Think the French Connection meets Superfly with a dash of The Wire. One last Maple score to get out the game and leave the mean streets of Quebec. Based on a true story too.
